Oswego was left at the junction of thel
Cape Vincent branch with the main lines
of the Rome, Watertown & OgdensburgI
road, about mile from the WatertOwn
depot. Mr. Britton and Assistant Supt,j

the presidential train, and no stop
was made until the junction was
reached, where the special car from

through the city was made slowly.
The president and Mrs. Cleveland stood
on the rear platform of their car and
bowed to the people at the depot. A
cheer went up as the train passed.

Upham and Attorney General O'Brien

also met Mrs. Ralph Seymour, nee Miss

for Cape Vincent. The president was
not looking particularly well to-day and
Mrs. Cleveland was evidently suffering
very much from what is technicallyl
known in the country as sty on her

st. Lawrence river among the world
famed Thousand Islands. Wheni
the islanders woke up last
night and heard heavy rain
pouring down above their huts they
thought it extremely improbable that
they should see the president of the
United States to-day, but when thel
morning came their fears were dis
PEELED by the bright sunlight. Many
people went over to Clayton ON the
early boats hoping to catch glimpse
of the presidential party. at that place,j
but were sadly disappointed when the'
st. Lawrence left at $50 for Cape VIM

and found the villagers already gathered
to greet the president. The crowd con3
tinued to increase until 11:30, when
over LOCO people welcomed the presis
dent and party on the special train.
The president and Mrs. Cleveland
stepped down from the train first, fol-

amid cheers. Mrs. Cleveland wore
light travelling suit. The

flags. AT Thousand Island park

renee passed close to Central park and
took a turn about small island
there. Then the channel was taken td

portion of the eXcUrsion that some of the
handSOmest cottages on the river dis

shore. At o'clock the steamer
could be seen from Clayton wind-
ing in and out of the islands and

ceive the party. Again the boat headed
down the river, the idea being to re-
